HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Notice of Prompt Interim Response

Sandy Lake Asbestos Site

Stoneboro Borough, Mercer County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), is conducting a response action at the Sandy Lake Asbestos Site (site). The site is located in Stoneboro Borough, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, approximately 1,250 feet west of the junction of the former Penn Central railroad line, and Route 845. The site consists of an abandoned manufacturing building in very poor condition, surrounded by piles of asbestos-containing wastes. Access to the site is unrestricted, and it is evident that the site is frequented by trespassers.

   The Department sampled a surface waste pile at the site. This sampling indicated that asbestos is present above the threshold level required for regulating asbestos-containing wastes.

   For this prompt interim response, the Department considered three alternatives for the site:  1)  no action; 2)  disposal of the asbestos-containing wastes in an onsite landfill; and 3)  excavation and removal of the asbestos-containing wastes for disposal at a permitted offsite landfill.

   Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria of:  (1)  the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; (2)  the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements; (3)  the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and (4)  the relative cost of each alternative.

   Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.

   Based on the comparative analysis the Department chose to implement Alternative 3 as the prompt interim response for the site. This alternative was selected because it would, in the most cost-effective manner, protect the public and environment from direct contact with asbestos-containing wastes, and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of asbestos into the environment.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please telephone before hand for an appointment, (814) 332-6648.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from December 16, 2000, until March 16, 2001. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James W. Weaver, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. Persons wishing to present comments must register with James Weaver at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before January 16, 2001, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered should contact James Weaver. If no one registers to present oral comments before January 16, 2001, the public meeting will not be held.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call James Weaver at (814) 332-6648 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Preamble 3


The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.

   Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the Act 2 for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report, and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed, and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

   For further information concerning the plans and reports, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a plan or report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed.
